Davis/Paradise Project Update, Drilling Planned for June
VANCOUVER, B.C. Almadex Minerals Ltd. ("Almadex" or the "Company") (TSX-V: “DEX”) is pleased to
provide an update on its exploration program at the Davis/Paradise project in Nevada. As previously
announced, Almadex holds the rights to earn 100% of this property, which covers multiple targets, and is
located approximately eight miles southeast of Gabbs, Nevada and five miles northeast of the Paradise
Peak gold mine, which was active from 1984 to 1994 (Figure 1). The Davis/Paradise property is fully
permitted for drilling. Geological Fieldwork was carried out in early April to better define hole orientations
for a diamond drill program planned for June of this year.
J Duane Poliquin, Chairman of Almadex commented, “This core holding in Nevada represents an
opportunity for discovery in a district that has significant historic production which we know very well. We
look forward to getting the drill turning soon.”
The Northern Davis portion of the property covers an area of high-level epithermal alteration and veining,
including a zone of brecciation and silicification interpreted to be a surficial breccia and sinter, extending
over 1.5 km in length running parallel to the Davis zone. The exposed vein hosted gold-silver zones have
seen historic mining and various exploration drill programs. The property was held by USSRAM Exploration
from 1979 to around 2004, during which time various exploration and drilling programs were carried out on
the property, including eleven drill holes to investigate mineralisation in the historic Davis mine area. While
this drilling is historic in nature and was not completed in accordance with NI 43- 101 and therefor cannot
be relied upon, it provides a clear exploration focus. One of the significant intercepts from this historic drilling
program is reported to have returned 40 feet (12.2 metres) of 0.18 oz/t gold (6.2 g/t gold) and 0.62 oz/t
silver (21 g/t silver). The strike and dip of the Davis vein was interpreted by the historic operators but cannot
be verified by the Company at this time so true widths cannot be estimated or confirmed by the Company.
Part of the upcoming drill program will be at the Davis mine area to follow-up and confirm these historic
results with the aim of defining a second phase of drilling. The Company also plans to conduct first pass
drilling on the sinter zone to test for underlying vein mineralisation. Recent field work on the sinter zone has
identified banded opaline quartz veining up to 3 metres wide which were sampled for analysis (see Figure
2).
The Southern Paradise portion of the property covers high level acid sulphate quartz alunite alteration as
well as a zone of phyllic alteration identified by past alteration mapping and a recent WorldView remote
sensing study conducted by the Company in 2020 with results received in 2021. This new data suggests
that the Paradise area represents a large lithocap with potential for both gold-silver high sulphidation
mineralisation and porphyry mineralisation at depth, similar to that seen at the adjacent Paradise Peak gold
deposit where both styles of mineralisation were observed. There is evidence of historic drilling on the
Paradise property with unknown results. In early 2022 a claim internal to the Almaden claim package was
optioned under terms to acquire a 100% interest through a series of payments. Field work conducted in
April on the claim mapped an area of strong phyllic alteration associated with several styles of quartz veining
with pyrite and chalcopyrite evident, suggesting a porphyry style of mineralisation. Samples were collected
for assay and fluid inclusion petrography to confirm this interpretation. The Company plans to conduct first
pass drilling on both the high sulphidation and porphyry target areas in the upcoming drill program.

About the Davis Property
Almadex consolidated the Davis/Paradise Valley area during 2019 by optioning from the underlying owners
the Davis property, which adjoins the Paradise Valley property which had been staked by Almadex’s
predecessor company. The property now comprises 302 claims totalling approximately 2,400 hectares with
multiple targets, located approximately eight miles southeast of Gabbs, Nevada and five miles northeast of
the Paradise Peak gold mine.
